MAPS - WORLD] HONDIUS, HENRICUS. Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula . [Amsterdam: circa 1641]. Hand-colored engraved map showing the world in two hemispheres, cornerpieces with portraits of Hondius, Ptolemy, Mercator, and Julius Caesar and allegorical figures in between. Plate mark: 15 1/4 x 21 5/8 inches (39 x 55 cm); nicely framed by Arader Galleries. Some spotting or marks in margins, apparently not laid down but not examined out of frame. Ornately engraved and colored, Hondius' world map shows California as an island and Australia as terra incognita with only the northwestern coastline delineated (after its discovery in 1623). Shirley, Mapping of the World, 336. C
